Wet Weather: As the games are played on synthetic fields, all matches will go ahead unless there are severe weather conditions.

The fee includes a Maccabi Membership fee that covers you for insurance purposes while playing in the competition.

Referees: Referees are paid $40/hour. They will be required to arrive at 6pm to set up the fields, referee two matches, and then pack up the fields by 9pm. This means each referee can earn $120 per night. If you are interested in being a referee, please youth.nsw@maccabi.com.au
